hi @jsmeix i tryed your tofile backend it seems works from the cups log but the /tmp/tofile.out is empty... |
We are develop a report that we want to print into a file in linux server, instead of export to the printer.
We try to add the dummy printer using the command below.
lpadmin -p excelprt -E -v file:https:///dev/null
We had also check the printer is successfully added.
But when we try to use the command "-P SPOOLER" or "-Q excelprt" to print the report, we do not found anything generated in the folder, or the null latest date and time is not the updated date and time after we run the printing.
Is anyone have any idea can share with me how we can achieve to create the printer that allow us to print the data into a file(not pdf)?
Thank You.
